Ryan said Bayer will be a great representative for Penn State, espe cially since she had a "non-tradition al" Penn State experience, because she spent all four years at Penn State Berks. Representatives from the Commonwealth Campus Student Governments (CCSG) said they were pleased to see that a Commonwealth Campus student was given such an honor from the university. It means a lot to the organization that Bayer was selected, CCSG Vice President Peter Khoury said. "It is certainly great to see that an psucollegian.com Elizabeth Murphy Alex Weisler Beth Ann Downey Andrew Metcalf Lexi Belculfine Chris Zook Somer Wiggins Kevin Ciriln Caitlin Sellers Laura Nichols Laurie Stem Steve Hennessey Paul Casella Nate Mink Bill Landis/Kevin Kline Zach Feldman Heather Schmelzlen Steph Witt LOCAL Homecoming Loop From Page 1. evaluate the services, Ragland said. The Interfraternity Council (IFC) is one organization that will aid in the ambassador program. "I've already had chapter presi dents contact me asking about sign ing up for it, so there will definitely be support from the WC," Vice President for Programming Christian Van Horn (senior-labor studies and employment relations) said. The Association of Residence Hall Students (ARHS) will also help with providing ambassadors, and the group is working to promote the ser vice's extended hours because the organization recognizes its benefits. "I think that it takes a step toward addressing the safety of students first," ARHS President. Steven Roberts (junior-finance and econom ics) said. "It accounts for the students to be going out and ensures that they get home safely." To e-mail reporter krlslo6ilipsu.edu IT Fee From Page 1 what the IT fee is currently fund ing, he said. Wireless Internet in dorms is something Raouda said he'd like to seethe fee pay for. "That would be amazing," he said. "That is something we're pursuing." Not having wireless came as a surprise to some students. "I thought wireless was through out the campus," Jethro Petit-Frere (freshman-division of undergradu ate studies) said. Petit-Frere, who lives in East Halls, said he was surprised to find that only one side of his room had an Ethernet port. "I had to go out and buy one of those 20-foot [Ethernet] cords," he said. Housing and Food Services Information Systems Director Joel Weidner said Penn State has no plans to install wireless in students' bedrooms.

Copper Beech originally decided to implement a private shuffle serv ice to prevent an increase in ten ants' rent after CATA increased the price of its contract by 21 percent. Tenants received the first notice announcing the termination of CATA service on Friday after many of them had already moved in. CATA General Manager Hugh Mose said Copper Beech represen tatives approached CATA over the weekend, after outcry from student tenants who said they valued the bus service. Letters, e-mails and phone calls all sparked Copper Beech to issue a second notice on Monday asking tenants to vote for their preferred service CATA bus services or Copper Beech's private shuttle service. Monday's notice Volleyball From Page 1. "Well I didn't vote [us] Ni'. 1," Rose said. "I don't think it's justified. lf course not, I mean we haven't done anything. Maybe the people thought that Megan [Hodge] and [Glass] were coming back for a fifth year, and then we would've been a more relevant candidate for that." Rose said voters probably select ed the three-time defending nation al champion Lions as No. 1 in the AVCA preseason poll because "we haven't lost in a couple years." Penn State enters its 2010 cam paign with a 102-match winning streak, the second longest streak in Division I team sports history only behind the Miami men's tennis program's 137 straight victories from 1957-64.

Though Bayer is younger than many of the past grand marshals, Bayer's age will make her relatable to both students and alumni, Rush (junior-marketing and public rela tions) said and bringing together the two groups is the purpose of Homecoming. As the Homecoming Grand Marshal, Bayer will attend the court reception and the ice cream social, and will also make appearances in the Homecoming parade, football game and pep rally, Rush said. Ryan said Bayer was excited when they invited her to be Grand Magician From Page 1. but instead one of the folded post it notes. Kredible then took out a sack from a suitcase he had on stage. Inside was an orange, and after he cut around the orange he asked the student to twist off the top. The audience collectively gasped as the student lifted off the top to find her money inside. Fbr Porsche High (junior-hotel, restaurant and institutional man agement), who had seen Kredible perform before, said it was the magician's constant interaction with the crowd that she enjoyed. "His show was unique and dif ferent because he interacts with the crowd more than I've seen with other magicians," High said. To end the show, Kredible did one last trick called "balloon sword swallowing" where he blew up a balloon and swallowed it whole, making sure to turn in different angles and show the audience there were no tricks. "It's a very costly project and it's fairly disruptive having to install access points." stall access points," he said. Weidner said students can bring their own routers to Penn State but encourages them to have Res Com set those up. "We want to make sure the router is configured properly so other peo ple aren't hopping on and using your bandwidth," he said. Director of Housing Conal Carr said all residence halls have wire less in their common areas and stu dents have Ethernet ports in their rooms, giving them high-speed internet access. Fbr some students, the lack of dorm air conditioning presents another issue. "Any time we renovate a space, air conditioning will be considered," Carr said. "It doesn't mean it's going to happen, obviously." North Halls was recently renovat ed and installed with air condition "It's nice to know CATA buses will be here whenever we need them, especially when it starts getting colder." announced that an extra fee of $75 would be added to each tenant's rent to support the cost of reinstat ing CATA services. Copper Beech resident Steve Travis said he didn't mind the added cost. "It's better than the alternative," Travis, Class of 2010, said. "It's nice to know CATA buses will be here whenever we need them, especially when it starts getting colder." Mose said the state government decreased its funding for CATA bus services by 3.7 percent this past year, but bus usage by Copper Beech tenants increased by a stag gering 46 percent. Both factors were taken into account when CATA's contract with Copper Beech was ini tially drafted. "In earlier conversations, we But the Lions are missing some key contributors from the last three seasons, most notably Hodge, a two time Big Ten Player of the Year and four-time All-American, and Glass, currently the starting setter for the U.S. women's national team. "There's a number of teams around the country I think that have a lot more experience coming back," Rose said. The Lions, meanwhile, are work ing with a 19-player roster that includes nine freshmen. And Rose as well as his players knows it will take some time for everyone to feel comfortable. But senior libero Alyssa D'Errico said the intensity has remained as strong as it has been in past years. With a large crop of rookies around, she said practices have been fun and energetic. With such a young group, Rose said he hopes his team remains Marshal and said she immediately accepted the position. Though he was at first intimidat ed to talk to such a distinguished alumna and athlete, Ryan said Bayer is very easy to work with and extremely friendly. Bayer has competed in three Wmter Olympics in her lifetime. In 2010, she placed 3rd in the 3,000- meter relay at the Vancouver Olympic Games. She also competed in the 2006 Wmter Olympics, which were held in Torino, Italy. The most recent Olympic athlete to serve as Homecoming Grand Marshal was 10-meter platform diver Mary Ellen Clark in 1997.

Porsche High junior -hotel, restaurant and insti tutional management Student Programming Association (SPA) member Cassandra Dahl said from all the crowd participation the students seemed to enjoy the perform ance. "We hoped students would have fun while also introducing them to SPA," Dahl (sophomore business administration) said. "He's more of a kid performer, but he throws in college jokes that work well and appeal to stu dents. Last year he was great and this year he was great, if not bet ter, to watch." Housing and Food Services Information Systems Director ing, Carr said. Air conditioning is being considered for South Halls' renovation sometime in 2012 or 2013, he said. Carr said housing operates its renovations around a "very exten sive" 10-year plan. The title "10- year" is not to set a deadline, but rather to symbolize how far housing looks into the future, Carr said. "The plan is currently going until 2018, but that doesn't mean it will end in 2018," he said. For the future, Carr said housing hopes •to increase the electrical capacity of East and Pollock Halls, a project that he estimates to cost $36 million. Replacing all of East and Pollock Halls' furniture and redoing the kitchens in Nittany Apartments are also in the plan.

"Now that we've execut ed an agreement, we're still working out the details." Copper Beech and Parkway Plaza tenants are encouraged to visit either one of CATAs offices, located at 2081 W Whitehall Rd. and 108 E. Beaver Ave., to pick up tenant iden tification passes and start taking advantage of CATA transportation. Tenants who have already pur chased individual bus passes while negotiations between CATA and Copper Beech were ongoing will receive appropriate compensation, Mose said.

"I think they'll find themselves in a lot of tough matches, but I would n't say we're the lead dog in this race at this point in time." Senior Blair Brown a presea son first team All-Big Ten selection said she knows the Lions may not be as strong at this point in the sea son as they have been in years past. But; she said, the end goal is still the same: End the year on a win. "It might be a different season than people are used to," Brown said.
